Because we are still actively using JSMin+ at Tweakers.net we did make some minor improvements since I released version 1.3 for the public now more than 2 years ago, but I never felt those improvements warranted a new public version. Until now.

I was more thinking in line of: why not download the print stylesheet *only* when the user has actually requested a print-out?

"De afgelopen weken hebben wij de meest populaire websites van Nederland gecontroleerd op webstandaarden zoals die ook door Internet Explorer 9 ondersteund worden. Uw website hoort hier ook bij. Hieronder ziet u onze bevindingen. We hanteren drie gradaties: Groen, Oranje en Rood." En hoe ziet dat er uit?

It's the official result of the W3C HTML5 Test Suite! Of course, we at Tweakers.net already knew that. We have even dedicated a special page to Internet Explorer 9 and all its goodness and have 'optimized' some of our very own site-features for IE9 (see the two demo's at the bottom of the showcase page). And now even W3C declares IE9 (latest platform preview version) the most HTML5 compliant browser available at this date!

Is it a very important feature and should you cater to the lowest denominator and build using progressive enhancement, or can you use graceful degradation and/or supply a lower-level alternative, or is it just a gimmick and is it ok to ignore part of your audience?

One of those is the so-called 'Pinned Sites' feature which makes it possible to 'pin' websites to the taskbar in Windows 7 making them part of the desktop as if they were applications. Even though this is actually a nice feature if you happen to use Windows 7, the actual implementation does have some flaws.

Provided you don't already use a banner blocker, and I don't mean just noticed that there was a banner (some flashing moving thing on top of the page or on the side, or maybe even covering the content you were just about to start reading and making you race for the close button), but really looked at it? Maybe even clicked it? And if you did, do you look at banners all the time? Well, don't worry if you don't; at least banners know when you are not looking, and they're telling it to the advertisers.

It's the number four on the 2010 CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors list. The main reason this problem exists in most websites is the fact that they don't check the origin of an incoming request that results in an action on that website. There are several ways a website can protect itself against these sort of attacks and I'm going to explain the way we, at Tweakers.net, have implemented our own protection method.

Even if your backend code is optimized to the bone, a slow rendering frontend can still spoil the whole experience for your visitors, and a bad first impression will make your visitors go elsewhere. A couple of recent articles on some other Dutch ICT-centered newssites made me wonder if they are taking clientside performance just as seriously.
